Tian's little cook

Chapter 1302 Opening the Coffin Again

The guards of the imperial mausoleum were quickly brought over by the guards, and they knelt in front of Huangfu Chu in fear.

"Your Majesty, what is your order for your servant?"

"What is this?" Huangfu Chu pointed to the scratch, his voice was as cold as ice, but mixed with obvious tyranny.

His Zhimo left after suffering all kinds of grievances, but he couldn't get clean even after leaving.

The mausoleum guard took a closer look, his face changed greatly, "How could it be?"

After finishing speaking, he immediately kowtowed and begged for mercy: "Your Majesty, I don't know, I really don't know."

"You don't know?" Huangfu Chu kicked him to the ground: "You are so brave, you dare to open the coffin and steal property!"

As soon as these words came out, the rest of the people were shocked.

Anyone with a little common sense would know that there must be treasures in the sarcophagi of the emperors and empresses. After the fall of the previous dynasty, tomb robbers have happened to steal the treasures in the tombs of the emperors and empresses.

But it was the first time they had heard of such a blatant approach, after all Huangfuchu was still there.

"Your Majesty, this slave has been wronged!" Regardless of the pain, the mausoleum guard lay down on the ground again, trembling: "Your Majesty, you have given this slave a hundred courage, and this slave would not dare to do such a thing."

"Don't you dare?" Huangfu gritted his teeth at the beginning: "You don't dare, how did these scratches come from?"

"The queen has been away for three years, because I have never been here, so you have moved your mind. The queen left because of my grievances, and even after death, she will not be safe, Zhenzhen."

Seeing that Huangfu Chu's eyes were red and his chest heaved violently, Feng Keqing was worried that he would go mad again and hurt the dragon's body, so he immediately stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, listen to my minister."

Huangfu turned his head to look at him, and said a word: "Speak."

"Your Majesty, I don't think he's lying." Feng Keqing explained: "If this servant really stole the Queen's tomb, he would have left long ago. Why wait until now?"

Although the mausoleum guard is a position in the royal family, compared with the palace, it is actually much more free, and it is not difficult to sneak away.

Any one of the treasures in the sarcophagus was enough for him to escape with his family instead of staying behind at the risk of beheading.

"Yes yes yes." The mausoleum guard nodded hastily: "Your Majesty, this slave really...really dare not."

"Let me ask you, has anyone entered the imperial tomb in the past three years?" Feng Keqing asked him.

The guardian of the mausoleum remembers it clearly: "Every Qingming and New Years Eve, only the Ministry of Rites will send people to worship the imperial mausoleum, but no one has ever entered."

According to the regulations, the worship of the Ministry of Rites is outside the imperial mausoleum, and they will not come in at all.

"No one has ever come in?" Huangfu Chu calmed down a bit, stared at the tomb guard and asked again.

The mausoleum guard tried hard to recall for a while, then shook his head cautiously, "Your Majesty, the slave has guarded the imperial mausoleum for so long, it really never happened."

Having said that, he stopped again, and said, "Only once."

"When?" Huangfuchu asked immediately.

"It was when the first empress was buried, the imperial physician Zhang Linghan and the guards entered the imperial mausoleum."

No one was surprised by this incident, and they naturally had to enter the imperial tomb when they were buried.

Jing Hong came out and said, "Your Majesty, your subordinates were indeed there at the time. After the empress was buried, she left the imperial tomb with others."

Huangfuchu naturally remembered that Jinghong went back to the palace to report the matter to him that day, while Zhang Linghan made excuses to guard the tomb for two days before returning to the palace to return to his command, but he has never been seen since then.

Huangfu closed his eyes in disappointment, but suddenly opened them, and said sharply, "Open the coffin!"
